A relatively small patch of brush burned today in the general area of the recent Getty Center fire in the Sepulveda Pass, but no structures were threatened, authorities said. The fire had been 100 percent contained.

The flames were seen on the west side of the San Diego (405) Freeway near Skirball Center Drive about 6:30 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol

About three dozen firefighters, along with two helicopters, were dispatched to handle the flames, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey. They appeared to have gained the upper hand on the fire within a half hour.
